Juvenile Detention-Personal Narrative

Decent Essays
Hi Bobby,
I hope you realize that by hanging out with those "tough guys" you are playing with fire. I mean, is it really worth it to give up your freedom or have a criminal record because you want to make money? What about your future? If I were you I would just go back to school and get your degree. You should concentrate on finishing school so that you can get a job. You're tempting fate by skipping classes to hang out in the city with those older guys who just keep getting in trouble. Is it worth it to go to juvenile detention? Unless you want to spend your life in jail or worse, get killed, I would stop now! I don't know whether or not you'll pay any attention to this but believe me, I'm on your side.
Thank you for a lot

    The first nation’s juvenile court was established in Cook County, Illinois. One of the first judge at the nation’s juvenile court, judge Julian Mack stated the goal for the early juvenile court would be that “The child… be made to know that he is face to face with the power of the state, and more emphatically, be made to feel that he is the object of its care and solicitude,” (Pa, Rt.).

    Juveniles It is estimated by the Justice Department, that more than 10 percent of homicides are committed by minors (Khan). When an adolescent commits a serious crime, he or she is most likely charged as a minor, meaning they don’t have to serve jail time and instead are sent to a juvenile detention or rehabilitation center. The problem with charging kids based on age is that each person matures at different rates and times, like Cameron Williams who ran from the police after shooting one. The Jordan Brown case which involved an eleven year old who killed Kenzie Houk.…

He wrote poems to pass the time, and almost cried when he saw the moon for the first time. Another one was put in confinement because he attacked an officer, but no one believed the inmate. Punishment does not improve any of the inmates behaviors, it is proven in the amount of people that return to prisons.…
